Generation And Characterization Of In Vitro Transcribed Mrna

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Here we describe the in vitro preparation of mRNA from DNA templates, including setting up the transcription reaction, mRNA capping, and mRNA labeling. We then describe methods used for mRNA characterization, including UV and fluorescence spectrophotometry, as well as gel electrophoresis. Moreover, characterization of the in vitro transcribed RNA using the Bioanalyzer instrument is described, allowing a higher resolution analysis of the target molecules. For the in vitro testing of the mRNA molecules, we include protocols for the transfection of various primary cell cultures and the confirmation of translation by intracellular staining and western blotting.

A Qualitative Analysis Of Ableist Microaggressions, Jennifer M. Cook, Melissa Deroche, Lee Za Ong Jan 2024

A Qualitative Analysis Of Ableist Microaggressions, Jennifer M. Cook, Melissa Deroche, Lee Za Ong

College of Education Faculty Research and Publications

The phenomenon of microaggressions is well established within the counseling literature, particularly as it relates to race, ethnicity, gender, and affectual orientation. However, research related to disability or ableist microaggressions is still in its infancy, so counseling professionals have limited information about experiences of disability and ableist microaggressions. The purpose of this qualitative content analysis was to describe participants’ self-reported experiences with ableist microaggressions. Participants (N = 90) had a diagnosed disability and the majority (91.11%) identified as having two or more nondominant identities beyond their disability. We report two categories and 10 themes. While participants were part of …


Ableist Microaggressions, Disability Characteristics, And Nondominant Identities, Melissa Deroche, Lee Za Ong, Jennifer M. Cook Jan 2024

Ableist Microaggressions, Disability Characteristics, And Nondominant Identities, Melissa Deroche, Lee Za Ong, Jennifer M. Cook

College of Education Faculty Research and Publications

Microaggressions are commonplace overt and covert forms of discrimination that convey disparaging messages to individuals who hold marginalized identities, including people with disabilities (PWD). Although PWD are a prevalent nondominant identity group in the United States, little is known about the occurrence of ableist microaggressions in this culturally diverse community, including how ableist microaggressions are experienced based on disability characteristics and other nondominant identities. A sample consisting of 201 PWD completed an electronic survey that examined the occurrence of ableist microaggressions based on visibility of disability, type of disability, and nondominant sociocultural identities. We found that PWD have a moderate …


Cura Communitatis In The Time Of Coronavirus, Jeffrey Labelle Jan 2024

Cura Communitatis In The Time Of Coronavirus, Jeffrey Labelle

College of Education Faculty Research and Publications

This study conceptualizes cura communitatis as a contemporary bridge between cura personalis and cura apostolica for Jesuit higher educational institutions. A review of related literature suggests this concept as a possible means for Jesuit IHEs to respond to the realities of the coronavirus pandemic and the psychological, social, spiritual, and economic challenges which have resulted from dealing with this global health crisis. The author surfaces the shared desire in AJCU institutions to care for one another and our shared relationships as pilgrims during a global phenomenon that has demanded physical distancing. The study explores the ways in which this desire …


Ethnic Discrimination And Suicidal Ideation Among Latinx Women., Lucas Torres, Sara Kohlbeck, Farah Harb, Jaclyn Pachicano, Lisa Edwards, Andrew T. Schramm Jan 2024

Ethnic Discrimination And Suicidal Ideation Among Latinx Women., Lucas Torres, Sara Kohlbeck, Farah Harb, Jaclyn Pachicano, Lisa Edwards, Andrew T. Schramm

College of Education Faculty Research and Publications

Suicide and suicidal ideation are critical public health concerns with national estimates showing dramatic increases in recent years among already marginalized communities, including Latinx women. Unfortunately, minimal research has examined ethnic discrimination and suicidal ideation while accounting for cultural values among Latinx samples. The purpose of the current study was to determine whether the role of depression symptoms as a mediator of the relationship between ethnic discrimination and suicidal ideation was conditional upon the level of cultural values endorsed, namely, gender roles and family support. The sample included 198 Latinx women from the community who completed a series of self-report …

Exaggerated Postnatal Surge Of Orexin Neurons And The Effects Of Elimination Of Excess Orexin On Blood Pressure And Exaggerated Chemoreflex In Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats, Savannah Lusk, Alexander M Moushey, Nicholas Iwakoshi, Christopher G Wilson, Aihua Li, Russell Ray Jan 2024

Exaggerated Postnatal Surge Of Orexin Neurons And The Effects Of Elimination Of Excess Orexin On Blood Pressure And Exaggerated Chemoreflex In Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats, Savannah Lusk, Alexander M Moushey, Nicholas Iwakoshi, Christopher G Wilson, Aihua Li, Russell Ray

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

An overactive orexin (OX) system is associated with neurogenic hypertension and an exaggerated chemoreflex in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). However, the chronology and mechanism of this association is unclear. We hypothesized that increased postnatal neurogenesis of OX neurons in SHRs precedes and contributes to the aberrant increase in mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and the exaggerated response to hypercapnia during postnatal development. Using immunohistochemical methods and bromodeoxyuridine, we mapped the timeline of orexin neuron neurogenesis and maturation during early postnatal development. We then used whole-body plethysmography with EEG and EMG to map the development of mean arterial pressure (MAP) and …


Cannabis Use May Attenuate Neurocognitive Performance Deficits Resulting From Methamphetamine Use Disorder, Jeffrey M Rogers, Igor Grant, Maria Cecilia G Marcondes, Erin E Morgan, Mariana Cherner, Ronald J Ellis, Scott L Letendre, Robert K Heaton, Jennifer E Iudicello Jan 2024

Cannabis Use May Attenuate Neurocognitive Performance Deficits Resulting From Methamphetamine Use Disorder, Jeffrey M Rogers, Igor Grant, Maria Cecilia G Marcondes, Erin E Morgan, Mariana Cherner, Ronald J Ellis, Scott L Letendre, Robert K Heaton, Jennifer E Iudicello

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Objective: Methamphetamine and cannabis are two widely used, and frequently co-used, substances with possibly opposing effects on the central nervous system. Evidence of neurocognitive deficits related to use is robust for methamphetamine and mixed for cannabis. Findings regarding their combined use are inconclusive. We aimed to compare neurocognitive performance in people with lifetime cannabis or methamphetamine use disorder diagnoses, or both, relative to people without substance use disorders.

Method: 423 (71.9% male, aged 44.6 ± 14.2 years) participants, stratified by presence or absence of lifetime methamphetamine (M-/M+) and/or cannabis (C-/C+) DSM-IV abuse/dependence, completed a comprehensive neuropsychological, substance use, and psychiatric …

(Wp 2024-01) Douglass North, New Institutional Economics, And Complexity Theory, John B. Davis, Mauro Boianovsky Jan 2024

(Wp 2024-01) Douglass North, New Institutional Economics, And Complexity Theory, John B. Davis, Mauro Boianovsky

Economics Working Papers

Douglass North was central to the emergence of New Institutional Economics. Less well known are his later writings where he became interested in complexity theory. He attended the second economics complexity conference at the Santa Fe Institute in 1996 on how the economy functions as a complex adaptive system, and in his 2005 Understanding the Process of Economic Change incorporated this thinking into his argument that market systems depend on how institutions evolve. North also emphasized in the 2005 book the role belief played in evolutionary processes, and drew on cognitive science, especially the famous ‘scaffolding’ idea of cognitive scientist …


Lost Time: Paying For Delays Associated With Labor Strikes And Traffic Jams (Chapter In A Coming Book: Research Handbook On Law And Time), Saul Levmore Jan 2024

Lost Time: Paying For Delays Associated With Labor Strikes And Traffic Jams (Chapter In A Coming Book: Research Handbook On Law And Time), Saul Levmore

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

Waiting is often costly. In many settings, one party delays to impose costs on another. In other settings, delay yields a small gain while imposing significant costs on others who cannot easily bargain. Where the parties can bargain, at least one expects the other to relent and to bring about a settlement that is mutually beneficial. Inasmuch as time offers the opportunity to gather information, compare alternatives, and reach yet better bargains, law does not and should not simply discourage all delays. On the other hand, it is often the case that when parties delay before reaching a bargain, they …


Occupational Licensing And Labor Market Mobility: Evidence From The Legal Profession, Adam Chilton, Jacob Goldin, Kyle Rozema, Sarath Sanga Jan 2024

Occupational Licensing And Labor Market Mobility: Evidence From The Legal Profession, Adam Chilton, Jacob Goldin, Kyle Rozema, Sarath Sanga

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

We study how state occupational licensing requirements shape labor mobility across U.S. legal markets. Drawing on newly collected data, we link variation in state bar exam waiver policies to lawyers’ license acquisitions, professional disciplinary records, and educational histories. We find that bar exam waivers increase the number of experienced lawyers obtaining a new license by 38 percent, but that the additional lawyers are subject to more professional discipline and tend to have graduated from less selective law schools. Our results suggest that state-level occupational licensing regimes can create a trade-off between the supply and quality of professionals in an industry.

The Comparative Constitutional Design Of Elections, Parties And Voting, Tom Ginsburg, Aziz Z. Huq, Tarunabh Khaitan

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

We develop a measure of student-professor ideological concordance based on the share of faculty members who are more liberal than the students at a given school. We then use data on the ideology of students and professors in American law schools over more than a twenty-year period to estimate the degree of ideological concordance in the legal academy. We find that as professors have become more liberal over time, their students have become even more liberal. The result is that ideological concordance has increased over time and that by 2010 the average law student actually attended a law school with …


The Common Political Foundations Of Originalism And Cost-Benefit Analysis, Jonathan S. Masur, Eric A. Posner Jan 2024

The Common Political Foundations Of Originalism And Cost-Benefit Analysis, Jonathan S. Masur, Eric A. Posner

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) and originalism are rarely discussed together, and seem to belong to different worlds of legal scholarship. The two methods are used by different institutions in different spheres of law for different purposes; what could they have in common? Nothing, or so it would seem. Yet closer inspection reveals surprising commonalities—both in terms of structure and function, on the one hand, and in historical pedigree and political economy, on the other. CBA and originalism are what we will call midlevel legal methods. Midlevel legal methods are neither normative commitments nor legal doctrines, but recurrently used methodologies that are …


The Sweep And Force Of Section Three, William Baude, Michael Stokes Paulsen Jan 2024

The Sweep And Force Of Section Three, William Baude, Michael Stokes Paulsen

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment forbids holding office by former office holders who then participate in insurrection or rebellion. Because of a range of misperceptions and mistaken assumptions, Section Three’s full legal consequences have not been appreciated or enforced. This Article corrects those mistakes by setting forth the full sweep and force of Section Three.

First, Section Three remains an enforceable part of the Constitution, not limited to the Civil War, and not effectively repealed by nineteenth century amnesty legislation. Second, Section Three is self-executing, operating as an immediate disqualification from office, without the need for additional action by …
